Super Bowl Sunday will have special meaning for Wisconsin fans, with Russell Wilson quarterbacking Seattle and Montee Ball running for Denver. You’ll enjoy this read. It’s difficult to not want to root for each guy on Sunday. Wilson is a personal favorite of mine.

What is odd is the incident that led to this took place in Nov. 2009. It all apparently came to a head this November when Gibbons didn’t play vs. Ohio State for what Brady Hoke called a “muscle problem.” Gibbons didn’t make the trip to the bowl game, with Hoke saying Gibbons was dealing with a family matter in Florida. Talk amongst yourselves about this.

TWEETS THAT MATTER

Sparty is shorthanded, shoots 23 fewer FT's, overcomes own mistake late and wins in Iowa City. Welcome to the life in the Big 10

My take: No way Purdue beats Michigan State. The Boilermakers have struggled since air was pumped into the first basketball this season. Little progress.
